Installation

When the dishwasher is likely to beconnected to a solar hot watersystem, drip heater, or any othersupply where temperatures in excessof 60° are anticipated, a watertemperature tempering valve shouldbe installed. A pressure reducingvalve must be fitted if the hot watersupply pressure exceeds 350 kPa orthe cold supply pressure exceeds 800kPa.

The water inlet hose must not bekinked, crushed, or entangled when itis being connected.

The dishwasher features fill and drainhoses which can be turned either tothe left or the right to suit theinstallation by means of the locknut.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed witheither hot (max. 60°) or cold water.However, a hot water supply is notalways efficient with very soiled crockeryas it shortens the washing programmesa lot. Therefore we recommendconnection to a cold water supply.

The water coupling nut fitted to themachine’s supply hose is designed toscrew onto a 3/4" BSP thread spout.

The water pressure must be within thelimits given in the "Technicalspecifications". Your local WaterAuthority will advise you on theaverage mains pressure in your area.

Always use a new hose-set whenconnecting the appliance to thewater mains. An old hose-set mustnot be reused. The inlet hoseshould be inspected every 12months for deterioration andreplaced if necessary.

This appliance has been fitted withsafety features which will prevent thewater used in the appliance fromreturning back into the drinking watersystem. This appliance complies withthe applicable plumbing regulations.

Prior tousing the appliance for the firsttime, ensure that the rated voltageand type of supply on the ratingplate match that of the supplywhere the appliance is to beinstalled. The fuse rating is also tobe found on the rating plate.Always plug the mains plug into acorrectly installed approved socket.Multi-way plugs, connectors andextension cables must not be used.This could constitute a fire hazardthrough overheating.If necessary, have the domesticwiring system socket replaced. Ifthe electrical supply cord has to bereplaced, contact your localCustomer Care centre.The plug must be accessible afterthe appliance has been installed.Never unplug the appliance bypulling on the cable. Always pullthe plug.The manufacturer accepts noliability for failure to observe theabove safety precautions.

Our appliances are supplied with asecurity device to protect againstthe return of dirty water back intothe machine. If the spigot of your sink has a "noreturn valve" incorporated this canprevent the correct draining of yourdishwasher. We therefore adviseyou to remove it.

30 installation

Drain hose- Connect drain hose to the sink.

Secure it with the supplied hoseclamp.

- Required height: 30 to 100 cmabove bottom of the dishwasher.

- If you use a drain hose extensionthe total length should not be longerthan 4 metres. Likewise the internaldiameter of the couplings used forconnections to the waste outletmust be no smaller than thediameter of the hose provided.Ensure the hose is not bent orsquashed as this could prevent orslow down the discharge of water.

Likewise the internal diameter of thecouplings used for connections to thewaste outlet must be no smaller thanthe diameter of the hose provided.

When connecting the drain hose to anunder sink trap spigot, the entireplastic membrane must beremoved. Failure to remove all themembrane will result in food particlesbuilding up over time eventuallyblocking the dishwasher drain hosespigot.
